<div id="accessibility-background">
  <h4 class="margin-top-none">About Icon Fonts &amp; Accessibility</h4>
  <p>
    Modern versions of assistive technology, like screen readers, will read CSS generated content (how {{ site.forkawesome.name }} icons are rendered), as well as specific Unicode characters. When reading our default markup for rendering icons, assisistive technology may have the following problems.
  </p>

  <ul>
    <li>
      The assistive technology may not find any content to read out to a user
    </li>
    <li>
      The assistive technology may read the unicode equivalent, which could not match up to what the icon means in context, or worse is just plain confusing
    </li>
  </ul>
</div>
